The Academic Decathlon is a competitive event for high school students
aimed at encouraging and honoring scholastic accomplishments.

The
Model United Nations is an exciting,
educational way for high school students to learn about global issues.
The Model U.N. simulates the activities of a U.N. body such as the Security
Council or the General Assembly. Students assume the roles of diplomatic
representatives to the U.N., as they consider contemporary international
concerns

The
Mock Trial Program is sponsored
by the Constitutional Rights Foundation (CRF). Each year CRF creates a
mock trial that addresses serious matters facing young people today. The
2013 Mock Trial will be held in Martinez courtrooms on Tuesday and Thursday
evenings in February.

The Contra Costa County Office of Education gratefully acknowledges
GJEL Accident Attorneys for their generous support of the CCCOE Academic Events
